1 Proceeding of the World Congre on Engineering 216 Vol I, June 29 - July 1, 216, ondon,.k. Meauring Efficiency of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM with Newly Develoed Perforance Meaure uing Fuzzy Data Enveloent Analyi E. Turanoglu Bekar, and C. Kahraan Abtract Total Productive Maintenance (TPM ha been widely acceted a a trategic tool for ucceeding anufacturing erforance and alo it ha been effectively ileented in any organization. The evaluation of TPM efficiency can ake a great contribution to coanie in advancing their oeration acro a variety of dienion. Thi tudy ai to rooe a new fraework for evaluation TPM erforance. Prooed TPM effectivene yte can be divided into three tage: (i the deign of the new erforance eaure, (ii the evaluation of the new erforance eaure, and (iii the ue of the new erforance eaure to evaluate TPM effectivene. Finally, rooed fuzzy DEA ethod i ued to evaluate TPM erforance with newly develoed erforance eaure uing real anufacturing cae. In thi tudy, the fuzzy utility degree achieved fro fuzzy COPRAS are integrated with fuzzy DEA in order to deterine efficient and inefficient TPM erforance. Index Ter Fuzzy COPRAS, Fuzzy Data Enveloent Analyi, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM, erforance evaluation, erforance eaure in TPM T I. INTRODCTION PM ileentation and alying i a yteatic activity throughout the organization. It require a ignificant change culturally and will be a lifetyle. Thu, to eaure TPM alication effectivene, it hould be needed a yteatic rogra baed on different factor having iact on TPM affecting the whole organization. When it coe to erforance evaluation in TPM, overall equient effectivene (OEE ha coonly been ued a a erforance eaure ince TPM ai to axiize equient effectivene [1]-[2]. Although OEE ha been conidered a a tandard eaure for equient erforance [3], what it cature i only effectivene of TPM, not efficiency. In ot coanie, when evaluating the erforance of TPM, only OEE i conidered. However, the erforance evaluation of TPM hould include an obective and corehenive ethod baed on ultile inut and outut. E. Turanoglu Bekar i with the Izir niverity, Izir, 3535 TRKEY (correonding author: ; fax: ; e-ail: ebru.turanoglu@ izir.edu.tr. C. Kahraan i with Itanbul Technical niverity, Itanbul, TRKEY. (e-ail: kahraanc@itu.edu.tr. Since the evaluation contain ultile inut and outut, it can be conidered of a a ulti-criteria deciion aking roble. In the literature, a few tudie have been ade referred to the efficiency eaureent in TPM ileentation. In thee tudie, Wang [4] and Jeon et al. [5] were ued DEA to eaure the efficiency of TPM ileentation. Alo a nuber of tudie have been conducted to identify iortant factor in TPM [6]-[11]. Therefore, the otivation for thi reearch i develoed new erforance eaure in TPM and evaluated thee erforance eaure under fuzzy environent and then claified into TPM inut and outut. Finally they are erfored to eaure TPM efficiency uing fuzzy DEA. II. METHOD In thi tudy, rooed TPM effectivene yte can be divided into three tage: (i the deign of the new erforance eaure, (ii the evaluation of the new erforance eaure, and (iii the ue of the new erforance eaure to evaluate TPM effectivene. The current reult indicate that there hould be ore ue of TPM a a erforance develoent roce. It iroveent ut be eaured, both ubectively and quantitatively a uoed in the literature. So there are a large nuber of tangible and intangible factor, which often are in conflict with each other, that hould be conidered in develoent of new erforance eaure in TPM. In thi tudy, the fuzzy utility degree achieved fro fuzzy COPRAS were integrated with fuzzy DEA in order to deterine efficient and inefficient TPM erforance. The flow diagra of the integrated fuzzy COPRAS-fuzzy DEA ethod i hown in Figure 1. A. iterature Review on Fuzzy DEA Method In thi tudy, an integrated fuzzy COPRAS- fuzzy DEA ethod are conducted o we exaine oe article that oin different deciion aking technique with fuzzy DEA and irove hybrid ethod. However, in the literature there are few tudie that ue fuzzy DEA in ultiattribute deciion aking roble. In one of the ot referenced aer Ertay et al. [12] integrate fuzzy DEA with analytic hierarchy roce (AHP for deigning of facility layout which can deal with both qualitative and quantitative data.

In a different aer, iu [13] irove a fuzzy DEA/AR (aurance region ethod which can ae the erforance of flexible anufacturing yte otion where the inut and outut data can be fuzzy a well a cri value. Wu [14] ugget a cobined technique uing DEA and fuzzy reference relation to rank deciion alternative. Kuo et al. [15] integrate both fuzzy AHP and fuzzy DEA ethod for aiting organization to elect roer ulier. Zhou et al. [16] offered generalized fuzzy DEA odel with GFDEA/AR to evaluate the erforance of anufacturing enterrie uing different cae. Awathi et al. [17] reent a ultite aroach baed on fuzzy DEA aroach for ulier quality evaluation. According to literature review and the bet knowledge of the author, thi i the firt tudy that integrate fuzzy COPRAS-fuzzy DEA ethod to evaluate erforance efficiency of TPM with newly develoed erforance eaure. B. Fuzzy DEA Methodology We conider that there are n DM and each DM ue differing aount of different fuzzy inut to roduce different fuzzy outut. Secifically, DM ue aount x i of inut to roduce aount odel forulation, x i and y r of outut. In the yr denote, reectively, the inut and outut value for the DM. In order to exlain the fuzzy BBC (variable return-to-cale a introduced in Banker et al. [18] odel, Kao and iu [19] rooed a air of two-level atheatical odel to calculate the lower bound ( w and uer bound ( w of the fuzzy efficiency core for a ecific α-level a follow: (w ax Xixi Xi Yr yr Yr r,, i w axur yr u r1. t. vi xi 1, i1 ur yr vi xi u,, r1 i1 ur, vi, r, i. where [(X i,(x i ] and [(Y r,(y r ] are α-level for of the fuzzy inut and the fuzzy outut reectively.
